The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: (1) compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others, (2) a divinely conferred power or talent. As regards sense 1, scholars in political science, psychology, and management use the term "charisma" to describe a particular type of leader having "symbolic leader influence rooted in emotional and ideological foundations". For some theological usages the term is rendered charism, with a meaning the same as sense 2. Since the 1950s, the term has become widely used, with varying meanings, in religion, the social sciences, the media, and throughout Western societies.
The English term charisma is from the Greek χάρισμα (khárisma), which means "favor freely given" or "gift of grace". The term and its plural χαρίσματα (charismata) derive from χάρις (charis), which means "grace". Some derivatives from that root (including "grace") have similar meanings to the modern sense of personality charisma, such as "filled with attractiveness or charm", "kindness", "to bestow a favor or service", or "to be favored or blessed". Moreover, the ancient Greek dialect widely used in Roman times employed these terms without the connotations found in modern religious usage.Ancient Greeks applied personality charisma to their gods; for example, attributing charm, beauty, nature, human creativity or fertility to goddesses they called Charites (Χάριτες).

Genres: Drama,The way every kiss seemed a convenient accident
And how I miss you while you're sleeping
And how you look at me when you think I'm thinking
And even with the mess we're in it's still unique and
sneaking
You slowed so soft when you saw that I was bleeding
You're eyes ate up more light usual
All the haircuts gone by while bided my time
Looking for the boy in the photograph
Ridding each other of the parasites we've invented
To keep the room whispering when we wished it to be quiet
Agreed to keep the insides inside outsides in a hangover
The rest spilling over into telephone lines
Creep around the mines 'til we get to know each better
Maybe together we can get better
